First experience

What is immediately noticeable is that the suspension of the reflection filter is very solid and is very easy to adjust. By means of a button on the side, the height of the microphone can be adjusted and by means of a button on the top, the distance of the reflection screen in relation to the microphone can be adjusted. In addition, there is a hole at the back of the adjustment mechanism where you can let the XLR cable run through so that it does not get in the way. The sound screen features a beautiful design with ridges which ensures that unwanted reflections are muted as much as possible during your recording and it still looks beautiful.

The Aston Halo is lightweight and dampens unwanted reflections many times better than other reflection filters of this price range. Also on the suspension and operation is thought what ensures that it not only sounds good but it is also easy to set.
